Re: Hello from the Highlands

This is what I was trying to describe on Sunday
Make Your Own Length-to-Lands Gauge with a Dremel
Here’s an inexpensive alternative to the Hornady, Stoney Point OAL tool —Make four cuts into the neck of fire-formed, neck sized brass. Then press the bullet in lightly and chamber the entire gauge. As the cartridge chambers, the bullet slides back into the case to give you length to lands. A little light oil in the barrel just past the chamber helps ensure the bullet does not get stuck in the lands. It works great and is very accurate.
Make the cuts using a Dremel with a cut-off wheel. You can adjust tension two ways. First, you can make the cuts longer or shorter. Longer cuts = less tension. If you used only three cuts instead of four you would get more tension. The trick is to be gentle when you open and close the bolt. If you ram the bolt closed you may wedge the bullet into the lands. When you open the bolt it helps to keep a finger or two near by to guide the case out straight because the ejector wants to push it sideways.”

I don't seem to be able to send private messages - When trying to do so, I get a message saying I may be too new on the forum to qualify ??????
Am I being daft & not looking in the right place or is something amiss??
Help please
Ian
